Hardman Johnston Global Equity Cassandra A. Hardman | “Citigroup Inc.'s ongoing transformation strategy is paying off as the company allocates more capital to higher return businesses and is diligent on cost discipline. Investment Banking fee revenue was strong, reflecting improved deal activity and market share gains. In addition, market and trading results have been very strong as markets and volatility have increased. Lastly, the bank is benefiting from a better regulatory environment, lowering costs which is expected to keep improving in 2026. All these positives are benefiting Citi even as it trades among the lowest valuations among big banks. This should lead to multiple expansion as the company delivers double-digit earnings growth over the coming year. BSD Analysis: Citi is finally shrinking to grow, exiting complexity that never earned its keep. Capital ratios are strong, and the global transaction services business remains elite. Execution risk persists, but simplification is real this time. The stock trades at a deep discount because trust is broken. That creates upside if management keeps delivering boring progress. Citi doesn't need greatness — just competence. This is value with catalysts, not hope.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Oakmark Fund William C. Nygren, Michael A. Nicolas, Robert F. Bierig | “Citigigroup was the top contributor during the quarter. The U.S.-headquartered diversified bank's stock price rose throughout the period after it delivered positive first-quarter 2025 results. Despite a volatile macro backdrop, management reiterated full-year guidance across all key measures and reaffirmed their commitment to achieving a double-digit return on tangible common equity target. Share repurchase stepped up during the first quarter, with management projecting further increases as the year progresses. Shares also benefitted from growing optimism around a more favorable regulatory outlook for banks, including potential capital relief that could support higher returns and distributions to shareholders. BSD Analysis: Citi is finally executing the restructuring investors have been begging for since the financial crisis. Exiting non-core geographies and simplifying the operating model is starting to unlock real efficiency gains. The crown jewels — TTS and securities services — are global-scale businesses with high returns and long runways. The stock trades at a ridiculous discount because sentiment is stuck in 2011. But capital ratios are strong, credit is contained, and cost reductions should meaningfully improve profitability. Citi doesn't need to be JPMorgan; it just needs to stop being Citi. If the turnaround sticks, the valuation gap has miles to close.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
